Members of the Diabetes Research Group are attacking diabetes from all angles. Our research aims to understand and treat multiple forms of diabetes including, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and conditions associated with these diseases.

Our scientists are working on projects focused on the fundemental causes of diabetes as well as novel strategies for treatment. A wide range of studies are ongoing, from investigations into the biochemistry of insulin signaling to the physiology of insulin release from pancreatic islets and much more.

The new UBC Diabetes Research Group conducts world-class multi-disciplinary research aimed at understanding the underlying causes of diabetes and ultimately finding a cure.
